Yes, prefabricated buildings can be designed for seismic zones. In fact, some prefabricated buildings are specifically designed to be seismic-resistant, with features such as reinforced framing, flexible connections, and specialized bracing systems. The design of such buildings takes into account the specific seismic requirements of the region where they will be located, as well as the materials and construction methods that will be used. Additionally, many prefabricated buildings are engineered to meet or exceed building codes and seismic standards set by local authorities, ensuring that they are safe and reliable structures.
